Isolated IVC stenosis in pregnancy has not been yet reported in medical literature. Even though IVC anomalies may be associated with other congenital changes, in this case the central venous line treatment in infancy seems to be the most likely cause. Malformations are often accidentally diagnosed because patients are usually asymptomatic. CT and MRI are recommended diagnostic tools. Conservative treatment is recommended for asymptomatic patients, as opposed to surgical treatment for symptomatic. However, due to condition's rarity, there is no evidence based approach management.
